circus peanut pumpkins... :)

Ingredients
Circus peanuts
Green gumdrops
Granulated sugar
Skewer or toothpick

Instructions
For each pumpkin, cut one circus peanut in half. Cut a small piece from a green gumdrop and trim away the sugar coating so you have a dot of the sticky inside. Use this piece as glue to stick the two halves of the peanut together, bottom to bottom.

Roll the pumpkin in the palms of your hands to make it round. Press lightly; you don't want to compress the candy too much.

Use a skewer or toothpick to poke a hole in the top of the pumpkin and draw lines down the sides. Cut another small piece from the green gumdrop and roll it in granulated sugar, molding it into a slightly conical stem shape with your fingers. Insert the stem into the hole on the top of the pumpkin.

This is obviously in the wrong thread, but I am intrigued. I haven't decided if you are brilliant or evil or brilliantly evil.

You and June were talking about them in here...there is not a cake recipe but for sure appropriate for the next 2 holidays... :fallenangel:

*Laughing* NOT One of my five...but, since I make the most amazing home-made icing EVER, I am appalled that anyone could not like frosting - especially since you can do so many fun things with it!! *G* ;) (also! I am dying to know what was on the t-shirts!!!!)

My five..

I LOVE nature. Just being surrounded by all things nature fills my soul.

I am a photographer..at least in my own mind. My works may never be published, but they will always be on display in my own home :)

I cry too easily for others.

My memory sucks.

I see life as an opportunity to have fun and to grow. I pretty much think if you are doing both of those things, then you have a perfect balance!!

5 Things No One would Know About You From BFP Alone:

On each and every vacation I have been on I try and locate some gardens or parks that have a reflecting pool. I am mesmerized by them. I could sit beside one for hours and simply comtemplate so many things in my head.

My dream job has always been to be an orchestra conductor.

I abhor irresponsible pet owners.

I sometimes stop by one of the old, beautiful churches downtown and quietly sit in the sanctuary and pray.

When my 29 year old daughter comes to me about some of her problems...after listening to her litany of valid issues and I begin to speak - she looks me square in the eyes and states..."I don't need any of your social worker bullshit either, Mom. Just be my Mom." She laughs but sometimes it hurts my heart.

this is a provocative topic... it seems like i share lots of intimate details here... from clit size to favorite candy... but... i admit that it gives me pause to think of what things wouldnt be known about me from here alone...
so... like anything that makes me sorta uncomfortable... i have to kick it in the ass...
here goes nothing...
surface things...

i love to share a kitchen with my mother... that is how we bond lately... cooking or baking all kinds of things that i would never do if i were alone in the kitchen... my mom brings out the best of me...
i love that the internet makes me feel connected... i think the internet is the greatest invention since indoor plumbing and i am damned glad that al gore thought of it :|
i may have a little... way down squashed inside me somewhere... im never going to look too close tho... i would hate it if i found the little guy floundering around inside me...
i am really quite shy... its easy to not be here... and in RL i am pretty adept at forcing myself out of my comfort zone... but... if i could i would hide in a corner somewhere a lot more often...
i wear a 9.5 wide mens shoe... i am currently exploring the idea of whether my stuff needs to grow a little bit to support the size myth...

1. There isn't a day that passes that I don't think about my job and how I could be happier while still earning a livable wage.

2. My anger at the fact that social workers are considered selfish because they want to help people *and* make a decent income is rising to the level of political.

3. I'm getting married to my sweetheart in about a year, and the planning of our big celebration has captured my imagination.

4. Something about my house makes me want to just cuddle into my comfy chair in front of the fireplace and put off...everything.

5. I love cudding and stuff, but please don't tickle me. I can't be responsible for what I might do if there are any sharp objects within reach.

- I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. My dream was to live on Balzac's steps and write what I saw.

- I have 2 little boys in my life that I would do absolutely anything for. And they don't even belong to me.

- I ran away to Mexico before I turned 18 with a boy from my school. I convinced him to marry me so we could get away.

- I make amazing coffee.

- I smell better than sex.

1.I have a secret wish; to ride to take a long ride on the back of a Harley with a talented Butch driver!

2. I also love cold pizza for breakfast.

3. Love to hang out in libraries too.

4. We older women do not loose are ability to enjoy and participate fully in sex!

5. I would love to mentor children from minority groups in reading and art.

I've done your number one. It's a most excellent adventure and one you won't ever forget! I like the rest of your post too.

Libraries are like language sanctuaries; so quiet and pristine and untouched by vandalism and the ickiness of humanity.

I've given up my cold pizza days though. These days, it is a rarity that any pizza remains after dinner and the evening snack. :blink:

I could have fun with teaching the young ones to read. Art's not my forte, but I do love it. Trips to art museums are favorites for me.

My honey laughs at me cuz even when we're laying around the apartment, I match. We place different value on being matchy matchy.

In the 1980's aka swingin' like a pendulum

I played in an orchestra, sang choirs and was in a punk band called "The Ultra Violet Catastrophe"

I had hair down to my ass, literally and I got a Mohawk

I was painfully shy, when I was playing music I could hide behind it and be brave.

I dressed rather preppily and sported a Mohawk and or liberty spikes

I was deeply closeted and I was "known" by my first butch

Well, maybe I'd try your frosting.....once.
The T-shirts were parodies on Catholocism. I received a letter from the pontiff's office thanking me for the gifts. They are in the Vatican archives.

*Laughing* Once is all it should take! ;) If I can't get you hooked on frosting after that, it's a lost cause!!!

How very cool about the t-shirts!!! I love the entire idea of that!!!

I think there needs to be a 12 step meeting for people involved with people who qualify for Al Anon but wont go....and I dont mean AA!

I am about to get politically active in my hometown, all over a cat sanctuary that another sanctuary tried to close down..took all their 80+ cats...and euthenized 64 of them...because they had colds. All because the new shelter was getting the donations they use to get. Yes. And I and a few friends are going to do something about it now that the trial is over.

I still havent unpacked all my boxes from moving. My garage is full of stuff that needs to come in the house. I feel very unmotivated to do a damn thing about it...

I spent alot of time over the past week online dealing with a mother whose son committed suicide 8 years ago. They squabbled the last time she saw him and she is convinced she made him do it. Sometimes having a brother who committed suicide comes in handy.

I have made myself a niche into the theater community without having done a single play. I have become friends with one of the evaluators of the local stage productions, whose score helps determine the annual awards. I have opportunities now to go out and see and do things!

1. I applied to be a blogger on a gay wedding and engagement blog site. I hope they pick me.

2. I can't get enough of the baking and cooking competitions on Food Network. Watching them bake spooky gingerbread cakes now. Cute dykes, too.

3. I love freecycle. Just gave away a vampire costume that we got on sale, but it didn't fit my daughter. Rather than return it for the 8 bucks, it was great to give it to someone who could use it.

4. Watching baking shows makes me want cake. Icing is OK, but not the heavy, sickly sweet kind.

5. I prefer lemon and lime flavors over chocolate anything.

1 I love my mom dearest of anyone in this world besides my husbutch, but I feel safest with her when we are on the phone (instead of in person)

2 My favorite bagels are onion, everything, blueberry, garlic, sesame, and raisin. For toppings I enjoy honey walnut cream cheese, chive cream cheese, a pizza style bagel, butter, and hummus. I've been known to butter a bagel and then spread cream cheese on it (but don't tell anyone).

3 My brother and I are both gay submissives. We are my parents' only children. We each live in one-bedroom apartments in NYC with our mates, work as therapists, and share our friends. He is three years younger than me and married to a man from South Africa.

4 I had great fun helping a teacher friend of mine at work compose the following text message to one of our co-workers this weekend: "I never answered your question last night. I can tell you what I don't want. I don't want a boyfriend and i don't need a husband and I don't want a baby and I certainly don't want drama. I like being your flirty friend but I certainly would not say no to a booty call or fwb."

5 At the femme clothing swap this year I found a few items that helped bring out the Medusa in me (because they used to be hers). I would never have known to seek them out on my own. I feel like she opened up a new style to me, making me feel sexy and fierce!

3. I finally opened the box with the clothing steamer that I bought three years ago. It works beautifully, which is great, since I'm sure the warrantee is done.
4. Every time I cook in the crock pot, I'm reminded how much I love it. Today was Italian chicken with tomatoes and mushrooms. With whole wheat pasta. The house still smells incredible.
5. Tomorrow morning, I have a date with Richard Simmons. If it goes well, we may meet a few times a week for coffee and rockin'.

*I love the feeling of having my eyebrows waxed; but I am not allowed to pluck my own due to a genuinely-ocd over-plucking issue.

*I once had my legs waxed by a lady who was 75 and known as "clubber gran"; unbeknownst to me she was off her head on 'e' at the time; it was NOT a pleasant experience. I have an aversion to having my legs waxed now.

*I recently became a first-time faerie godmother; in 6 months I will become a first-time auntie. I am in (other people's) bebe bliss.

*I am a 12-times-a-bridesmaid veteran .... I am accepting no more satin/tulle/taffeta gigs & I am officially retiring on number 13 next October.

I believe in being just, and dislike seeing or feeling the unjustness others sometimes scatter around.

I love the idea of radical acceptance, or more simply, living in the now. I work daily to achieve this for myself.

I truly believe there is space aplenty for us all, and that fighting about it makes us feel bunched up.

When I was a kid I preferred fresh lemons or dill pickles over candy.

I admit to having a strong sense of explorer in me, or gypsy as others would say, and am not convinced that there is much in the way of "growing roots" that thrills me.

1. Once a boifriend broke up with me in order to be with a woman named Jenica. I was so jealous and thought, "If only I'd been named Jenica I'd be the unique and special one."

2. Tonight I was at a small dinner party at my brother, Dave, and his husband, Jan's, apartment, and we were having a competition where each person must choose three words to google with quotes around the phrase, and the winner is the one with the fewest number of hits. BUT the catch is that you must get at least one hit or you're out of the game entirely. I won! I chose "blissed out beaver" and a single hit came up (Google if you're curious what it was- it wasn't porn!). My brother came in second with "passion triple sec" (45 hits).

3. I have nighttime insomnia, middle of the night insomnia, and morning insomnia. And that's even with having gone caffeine-free for over 3 years! My mom said I have been like that since I was a baby. My husbutch sleeps like a log. I'm envious!

4. I don't know how I dated femmes for so long without realizing...

5. Once as a teenager I cooked chicken pot pies for my parents that had individual dough handles like a basket. I felt so proud!

3. I've gotten intrigued by cooking in the past few months. I think being a chef would be cool, but I don't know that the reality of it would be as fun. I'd wanna be like Guy on the Food Network, going and finding sleasy diners that kick ass.

I actually can cook but i just don't enjoy it that much, however lately i do sorta like it... a little.

I eat peanuts a LOT. I got through a jar a week...at least.

I have a "thing" about lines. I like them straight and even. I straighten pictures on the walls of places i shouldn't. I can't have round furniture including tables. Has to be square with nice pointed edges. Even my everyday dishes are square. I was so happy to find them.

5. We have a mole in the basement. I'm trying to catch him in a no-kill trap baited with peanut butter. Unfortunately, it appears that he enjoys the cat food and has established a nest under the water heater. Smart mole.

I'm learning how to enjoy holidays again.

I let my nursing license go; I was just too burnt out. This after graduating magna cum lade from my bachelor's program.

I tell myself I am not afraid to stand on my own two feet (I've done it before). But then I like the company of others, even if they're just in the house with me and I can hear them.

I can't dance and I would dearly love to learn.

I absolutely love to kiss.. Slowly, and passionately and can for hours...

I love to cuddle in front of a fireplace

Intimacy is more important to me than the act of sex. Although I love sex!

I cant stand hair on my body... I have to have my body smooth. Its the one thing Im "crazed" about lol

Hygeine is very important to me. I take two showers minimum every day.

I absolutely adore slow, passionate kissing and can even ignore football for this kind of kissing.

I went into the Army right before Desert Shield, right before Desert Storm started.

I desire so strongly to be held by my lover that I ache when I am not with her.

I love her enough so that she doesn't even have to ask me, I'll rub her feet and legs when she gets off work; it is my pleasure to bring her pleasure.

Actions done for others, out of love for them, can make a daunting task seem easy. Thus, when you're asked if you can watch her daughters again tomorrow (which you find an honor anyway), despite the bickering today, you say, "yes!"

I am a Dexter fan and love to read books about serial killers.

My theory of why women are so drawn to reading about serial killers is that women are taught anger is not an acceptable emotion for our gender. We are taught we cannot/should not carry anger, display it, show it in any fashion. We bottle it up to the point where we are in so much denial about what angers us that in the extremes, 1) we become guilable enough to buy into abuse when its handed to us as love and at its simplest 2) we find it appealing and exciting and intriguing that someone can actually destroy/kill/maim and get away with it (for the most part..after all, to be a serial killer, you had to have killed three or more victims)

I am pretty much over my fetish about pink. I like the color still, for it is the color associated with compassion, but my PINK PINK PINK craze is done

I cant ride a horse well at all...lol. Even tho I am obsessed about them, and could ride like the wind when I was younger, my physical issues and my additional weight distributes and balances me differently now. AND, I had a horrible fall where I severely injured myself so I am scared of being on a horse...but I WILL ride again. It won't matter if I am a failure at it. It is what I desire the most in all my life...to ride again.

I really want to learn how to make soap. And I cant seem to be able to find one person to show or tell me. I could read a book but I learn better if a person helps me. I keep hoping....

I have never been able to appreciate chewing gum. My brain just cannot wrap around the idea. In my entire life I have chewed at the most 20 pieces of gum and did not enjoy any of them. Odd I know.

I do not have trouble sleeping, I just have trouble sleeping during "normal" sleep hours. This likely comes from years of working odd shifts.

I dearly love driving my truck, but may be getting to the point where I could appreciate having a smaller, more economical vehicle...well not quite yet...nearly.

I wish that folks got together more often in person in the community like we did years ago. I miss that.

I have been single for about 9 months now and I think I am ready to date again. Slowly.

I'm really easygoing and accepting of most people. But, if someone is really needy in a manipulative way, it turns me off and even makes me angry.

My nephew is marching with his school band in the Rose Bowl Parade. :rrose:

One of my favorite foods is lobster, but I haven't been able to justify the expense of ordering it at a restaurant, so I haven't had it for years. I must get over that, at least once.

We have a mole living in the basement. I tried to catch him with a no-kill trap, but he managed to eat the peanut butter and escape from the trap. We have five cats, but they are afraid of him. From time to time, I hear him chattering at the cats to leave him alone. I probably should catch him and find him a new home....

I love to go places with my partner that she's never been. It's wonderful to see her enjoyment. I hope we can make it to Disneyworld in the next couple of years.

2. I would go to the store with my BFF for candy every time I had a little money..
3. I would get posion ivy all the time, because I loved playing in the woods.
4. I went roller skating at the skating rink every weekend
5. I ate carrots with vinegar.

I have to keep a daily journal of my sleep patterns, pain levels, and symptomology of my chronic health issues.

I continue to do things in my sleep. I woke up today and all the towels in my bathroom had been changed and the bathroom was cleaned. I dont remember and of it.

I hate the flavors of coconut, pineapple, almond, vanilla, and pumpkin

I finally mastered the art of making jello! I have never been able to make jello and this week I made my first successful batch!

I collect those copper looking jello rings. I hang them up in my kitchen. I also collect cookie cutters.

I enjoy thunderstorms, and rain, and snow (but only if I don't have to shovel it)

I dream of riding horses. Some people dream of flying? I dream of riding. I believe I am not in my body when I am doing this. Maybe my body is not even in the bed come to think of it...lol

Mr Smitty my one eyed kitty really stands guard over me. Not like he would physically fight anyone. He is like a dream catcher. He guards me spiritually and emotionally. He is never far from me...its quite obvious to those who visit me

I say a blessing to those I leave, every year, on the day I left them. And I ask forgiveness for whatever harm I brought to them and forgive them for any they did to me. I do this until I no longer need to do this...

I eat way too much candy. I think its because I dont have sex. I have given it up...

I love the rain. There's nothing like curling up on a rainy day with a good cd, a book and a glass of red wine to sip on.

The smell of men's cologne makes my knees weak.

I am a documentary junkie... especially ones about sexuality, politics and conspiracy theories.

I'm a tomboy disguised in long hair, makeup and heels. I love the outdoors, camping, fishing, hiking, baseball (I bleed Cubbie blue), football (Go Packers!), playing softball, getting dirty, drinking beer with the guys... and I love every second of it!

Hmmm only 5!

I'm equal parts feisty/sassy and sensitive, and though it's difficult to tell which side will show, they're both always there working together to make me a slightly unpredictable girl.

I'm pretty traditional - increasingly so, as my understanding of what I want in life becomes very clear - even though I totally enjoy & value open-mindedness, bucking the system, and outrageousness.

I'm a total nerd in a high femme shell... I'm still the honor roll & debate & choir girl wrapped up in a skirt & smiling, makeup-ed eyes.

I get really excited about the little joys in life - a flirty smile from a stranger, a beautiful noble tree, babies & kids & happy couples in the grocery store, the smell of fresh linens on the bed, ... you know. Small, good things.

I've always been extremely loyal, and still am - but demand to be treated with respect and chivalry. Goodness begets goodness.

(I know I'm breaking the rules with 6) I'm a total ditz sometimes, and I like being teased about it!

I have a running dialog with God most days (and nights).

Good music and vintage wine are becoming a lifeline these days.

Pinot Grigio, aged cheese, Italian bread and grapes have moved to the top of the food chain for me.

Sharing a cup of hot tea with someone over the miles (hats off to advanced technology) is becoming such a treasured time for me.

I derive great joy while wrapping special gifts for someone who adores life.

I really enjoy "window shopping" on Etsy.

Our house is starting to look more and more like a mountain getaway refuge, and I love it. (I don't mean the snow, I mean the decorating).

My first concert was Seals and Crofts when I was around 13.

I'm not a chocolate lover. I prefer fruit flavors and vanilla, and will take a peach or cherry pie over chocolate cake any day. Of course, if chocolate is the only choice, I'll take that!

I have some trouble getting rid of things I don't want or need, especially if they were gifts or were associated with someone I love. I'm working on becoming more of a minimalist.

3. The idea of Spring arriving revs up my obsession with all green veggies

4. I don't have enough time to do everything I want...not even CLOSE to enough time so I usually go through cycles of hiding from my to-do list or staying up for days at a time to work down my to-do list. No happy medium there

I enjoy wearing my hiking boots, bluejeans and favorite well worn Tshirt ah-hell-of-a-lot better than I like wearing fancy dress/work clothes and uncomfortable dress shoes/boots. (I don't like being told I am a "girl" or I look "femmie".)

I would rather go on a long hiking/camping trip than be locked up in a stuffy old building all day or go shopping.

I miss hiking on Skyline Drive and spending the day next to a secluded waterfall.

I want to get my pilot's license and also learn to teach Tai Chi and Self Defense Classes.

My dream home is a small cabin or Yurt, very secluded and far away from "civilization"....far enough away that the US Mail doesn't even make deliveries. I'd have my pilot's license and a plane or helicopter to go get supplies when I needed to stock up.

I can never remember jokes. Nor movies. Nor books. I can have a vague notion of what happened but have to watch it all over again to get it. Unless its like the Wizard of Oz...Of course I know what happens!

I am terrified of getting hurt. Always have been. So its stopped me from roller skating, sled riding, swimming, etc. My mother convinced me as a youngster that if I tried any of these things, I would break a leg or something. To this day, I panic if someone tries to get me to try one of these activities. (Yet, I have ridden a horse down the side of a rocky hill, through a rough river and into bellyhigh snow drifts...)

I think my daughter would rather spend time at her dad's house, now that he lives with his fiancee and her two young children. I understand, but, :(

We have four of the most interesting cats, ever. All so affectionate and funny.

I write really creepy stories that would probably make you not want to talk to me. Seriously. I rarely let anyone see them. I have had a few of them published in tiny obscure publications. I didnt even get paid. Under a different name. Dont ask. I wont share. I started this type of writing after reading a Steven King book about writing. I went deep and dark and these came out.

I often wonder why we have so few cemetaries when so many people have died over the years. Think about it. Seriously. Just in the past five years, in our country, the number of deaths that have occurred would have filled how many graves in already existing cemetaries? If our populations are aging and more people are dying, why are we building homes at a faster rate than we are developing new cemetaries? And where are the cemetaries for the people from a hundred years ago? two hundred?

The huge garden creations came about only around the turn of the last century (Forest Lawn,Spring Grove, etc.). Preservation and maintenance began when cemeteries became almost another city park, except with people buried in it.

1. This one's pretty obvious-I love cemeteries, and they don't squick me out at all. I'd be a celebrity grave hunter, if I lived in a celebrity town, but I don't want to disrespect their resting places, either.

I would have a field day (no pun intended) in the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn alone, but it is closed up tight.

2. I can sight-read music; sometimes play a tune just by ear.

3. I can somewhat read Russian; speaking and actually forming sentences is another story. I like to teach myself languages for fun.

4. Crime and Punishment might be my favorite book. (No, I don't read that in Russian :P)

5. I love true-crime books. I always need a collection of Ann Rule for airplane rides.

.... on the cemetery thing ... shortly after I moved here, Mare and I decided to have lunch at a local cemetery. In fact, we've visited just about every one in the area - most of them date back to the 1700-1800's. We enjoy (what most people would consider) creepy things.

Lately, my dreams have been very bizarre and very busy. I've been waking up exhausted (and confused) because of it.

I am noticing that my typing has consisted of more typos. Thank God for the backspace button - and yes, it's concerning me a bit. I just realized that my typo issue might be because Max likes to jump on my keyboard and then sit in front of the light source blocking my view of the keyboard. :/

I have a knack for forecasting weather.

I have a love for anything ancient especially mythology - Greek being my favorite subject.

I'm learning to relax, it's hard but I'm learning

I've watched about 6 or 8 movies in the last 7 months, that is 6 or 8 more than in the last 10 or 15 yrs combined

I sleep better in a sitting position and with Skippy than I do lying down or without Skippy

I love the smell of clothes hung out on the clothesline but they make me sneeze

I hate procrastination and am probably one of the worlds worst for it, and I don't know what to do about it.

I don't see cemetaries as creepy (unless it's pitch black and there's creepy 'someone's coming to get you' music playing in the background). I think that's because of two things. One, I'm not afraid of death at all. Two, I find the living substantially more fearful than the dead.

I used to live down the road from a small, country cemetary and loved going down there to get away from the typical rotten childhood.

I think more people are choosing to be cremated nowadays than be buried. I am one of those people.

Then again, there's those funeral homes that have been charged with putting multiple corpses in one grave and/or selling the corpses' parts off without the family's notice.

I'm more worried about future generations than the past, though I think before we, as a nation and as humans, can progress, we have to look back and learn from the work of our ancestors.

I use to get lost in stores as a child, quite often. I remember this vividly. I cant imagine letting my own child wander off like my mum did me. I could always find my mum by her cough. She had sinus drip and it made her cough all the time so I would race around the store until I heard her nagging cough.

I have been getting some pretty bad head aches. I tell them to take a number and wait in line with all the other problems..lol

I prefer Wendy's to all other fast food restaurants

- i had a very vivid imagination as a child, and would have found fun out of a dustball and spoon if need be.. my imagination helped me escape from the reality of my childhood, and i still use that vivid imagination as an adult today.

Dill pickle lovers, unite!!!! Claussens are my favorite.

I haven't had a decent, home-fried fried pickle in a loooong time. I was probably about 11. THIS (http://www.threadgills.com/) place has fried pickles, but it's the spear and I prefer the hamburger cut type.

I have had their fried green tomatoes and they are really good.

I haven't had fried ice cream since I moved to Texas. Something feels wrong about that.

I had some sweets and now I feel sleepy. Sugar never used to to affect me but now that I've significantly cut down on it, it makes me tired.

I crave orange sherbert when I am sad

I love to wear Mary Jane shoes. Isnt that what they are called? The ones with the little strap across the top?

I have no means of playing music on the main floor of my house

I have always wanted a white leather wallet and never bought one for myself. I guess I thought it was frivilous to want something that would get scuffed so easily.

I dont normally do that (the above) I indulge myself of the things i want when I can afford them. I remember opening up my mother cupboards and seeing all the clothes we had purchased her for holidays, that she never wore, because she was saving for special occassions. She died before she had a chance to wear them. I swore I would not do that. I would put out the good china and wear the nice things and buy the precious desires when I could...

Since losing 23 lbs (so far) I no longer have pain in my hip and I don't feel incredibly tired in the mid-afternoon.

On the subject of pickles, my favorite are the kosher garlic pickles that you used to be able to buy in barrels in the deli section.

Last night I dreamt that I was hanging out with two friends from high school (who I haven't seen in decades, but are Facebook friends). They were engrossed in a college football game that was on TV, and were kind of cuddling on the couch. I was feeling a little left out because there was no room for me on the couch. I took off my coat and realized that I had accidentally taken my pants off (!!!). I got really upset when I noticed this, and blamed it on dementia. I blame Facebook....

I just got in touch with a woman who makes bouquets out of vintage brooches and other jewelry. She's going to make bouquets for my daughters and me, for our commitment ceremony. She'll incorporate brooches that I'm going to send her that belonged to my grandmother and Candy's mom. I'm so excited!

I belong to a book club. We meet every month for dinner, but we usually haven't read the book. It's an excuse for old work buddies to get together.

who knew my post on pickles would bring out the pickle lovin' members :P
yaaaaaay!

some more on me..
and Ryan you dont count if you read this one, i will find something you DONT know about me eventually hahaha!

1. when there is a bug someplace in my house, i rescue them and deliver them out of my house someplace safe, lol.. i have found spiders new outside homes, and even parachuted a ladybug via plastic baggy from my window to my children's hands so they could release her elsewhere...*smiles*

2. i grew up putting my heart into music as a child..it was an escape from my reality - i sang in a choir, which led to a local television show for a couple of years, which led to playing violin & changing styles to fiddle, a little piano, and finally learning some mean harmonica skills from my Pepere to boot..i wish i kept up with it all.. i would like to learn acoustic guitar though.. maybe that's something i will do this year =)

3. i am petit mal epileptic.. (no seizures) just dizzy spells & headaches, depending on how well i take care of myself.. i choose to not take medication for it..and am not ashamed to say i have epilepsy anymore.. it's something i was made fun of for, all through life..

4. i still have my raggedy ann doll i got from my godmother (RIP) back when i was 2 years old.. my poor raggedy ann doll has seen better days.. she barely has hair, has holes through her face, has holes beneath the arms, tummy and even the crotch LOL.. oh and she's blown a foot off somehow, and losing the 2nd one.. i still display her proudly though, she sits on the corner of my makeup bureau cuz she's pretty darn special to me... despite her "scars" she's beautiful to me! =)

5. as a child, i tormented my stepsister (and she still loves me, go figure).. i concocted a scheme that i found a picture of a dirty looking yak in a national geographic magazine, it was scary looking to us, and named him Cat Man.. (dont ask lol) .. and told her that *points to magazine* that is Cat Man and when you are sleeping at night, he sneaks into your room so you have to be careful he doesn't get you! i would even sneak into her room and write messages on her chalkboard from Cat Man for when she woke up and would tell her that he hates when she doesn't do chores or share her treats (she would share all her treats with me and help me do MY chores LOLOL...) When my stepsister got married years later, during her reception dinner , it got mentioned and i was sooo embarrassed that she even remembered it LOL funny things we do as small children...

When I don't get invited to a party (any party), I feel hurt and left out--even parties of neighbors who I don't know very well. Being included is a thing of mine, leftover issues from junior high.

I walked past my cat this evening and she high-fived me.

There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't feel incredibly lucky and grateful for my family, love, job, and home. And, I believe that gratitude is the key to happiness.

My honey already started showering me with Valentine goodies. So far, chocolate covered strawberries and fancy caramel and chocolate covered apples, new pillows, a cool organizer for my car, and a bus day trip to Boston in March. Tomorrow is dinner out and a movie. I'm such a lucky girl.

I always get so surprised when someone, otherwise intelligent and worldly, expresses bigotry. It happened today, when a client was telling an interesting story about his life, and all of a sudden, I heard, "...and it was because of the Jews." I was trying to keep my professional hat on my head, but I felt like crying.

02-12-2011, 01:20 AM

Like Lynn, I have found an "attitude of gratitude" lifts me and keeps me humble and happy. I keep a gratitude journal, even the smallest things.

I still don't like the feeling of being left out, even from something happening on the other side of the planet.

I am on a program to work up to 200 push-ups, 100 situps, and 50 pull-ups. You don't want to know how many I started with.

Nothing makes me feel so old as reading that the NFL thought the Rolling Stones and the Who were "safe, family entertainment" for halftime :blink:.

I love a tidy, organized, beautifully decorated living space but can't seem to get there :(.

1. I know most designers say you aren't supposed to paint a very small space a dark color but I intend to paint my teeny tiny office (10x10) a deep shade of eggplant and I don't really care how small it makes it look. I prefer closed, dark spaces anyway.

2. I've been known to eat frozen cool whip out of the container.

3. I used to love ketchup on everything but now I can only tolerate it on tater tots and it MUST be Heinz. Hunt's is vinegary and gross!

4. I wake up every day thankful to be alive. It is rare that I wake up in a crappy mood.

5. I prefer imperfection in almost everything.

pink snowball cupcakes in my lunchbox were the best!

I had a red vinyl gogo lunchbox. It had a mod girl on it who wore white gogo boots. My sister bought it for me

the Chosen Few motorcycle gang lived next door to us. We lived out in the country. So I would climb up on the chicken coup and watch them. What a sight. A ten year old spying on a biker gang ontop of a hen house! LOL

I had an angel visit me once who told me I had to decide then and there if I was going to be good or bad. I wont tell you what I decided....

1- if i am walking on a slippery surface, i have a habit of holding onto my pantleg with my left hand, on the outside of my thigh, really tight.. for some reason, holding my pantleg makes me feel more balanced so i won't fall.. yet, this is rarely the case.. (see #2) lol

2- if it can be dropped, it will go down and probably spill, break or go missing in the process.. if it can be tripped on, i'll most certainly find a way to do just that, and even have a way of tripping on thin air, i swear it.. it can be done LOL .. if there is a way to fall, i will do so, not gracefully that's for certain.. my legs in the air, my arms twisted around and some sort of funny face and noise to get people's attention so they don't miss my tumble... my name is sylvie - and i am a klutz! =)

3- i'm the definition of a Nosey Nellie.. there is a lil indent in my window blinds cuz when i hear a noise, or a commotion (and believe me, my neighbourhood gets alotta commotion LOL) i have my nose stuck out peekin.. i try to do so quietly, but there have been many times my blinds have come crashing down and the people i'm looking at look up and see me standing there like a goof.. YES! lol.

4- i don't like taking medication.. if there is a way around it, or a natural way of taking care of whatever ails me, i'll find it.

To me: chocolate covered strawberries and a day trip to Boston. To her, a wood file and desk organizer and a vintage leather dresser tray. (f)

I have a dent in my head. My mom says it's because the doctor used forceps to get me out when i was born. You can't see it because of my hair. The weirdest thing is that I tell people about it and ask them to touch it.

I went to summer camp for the first time at the age of seven. I packed my own bag, but I forgot to bring underwear, a jacket, or a comb. The staff gave me what I needed out of the "lost and found".

I weigh more than my father.

As a fourth-grader, I rolled a piece of Scotch tape backwards, put it on the end of a pencil, and stuck it in my left ear. When I couldn’t get it out, I told my teacher I had an earache so she would let me go to the school nurse. The blind school nurse looked in my ear, but saw nothing unusual, so life went on. A year or so later, my pediatrician noticed some type of foreign object lodged in my left ear and irrigated the hell out of it until — big surprise coming in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .a rolled piece of Scotch tape fell out.

I really think that Larry King is an alien sent here to do weird experiments on us, like erasing our ability to think.

I usually narrate my driving, even when I’m alone, for example; “I’m gonna turn left now, here we go”; “Oooh look, a Golden Retriever!”; “Hey, there’s Jessica, I should call her!”

In my relationships of any type, honor is paramount.

I work counseling children in a windowless office, and thus farts are particularly devastating.

1) I did not go to my college graduation because my parents didn't want to go and sit out in the middle of a field under the hot, summer sun. They said nobody really remembers their college graduation and it's all just pomp and circumstance (sp?) anyway. I regret that I let their underwhelming behavior towards what I feel is a very big accomplishment influence my decision to skip out on what should've been a happy, proud, and memorable day/moment for me.

2) I am scent sensitive and if I ever buy fashion magazines, the first thing I do is rip the perfume samples out and get rid of them as fast as possible. I do this at the doctor's office, too. I resist the temptation at friend's homes.

3) I can't think of 5 things.

Currently, I am eating what I call a Hulk muffin. It's huge, of course, dusted with big crystals of sugar and green. Pistachio muffins. HEB. Heavenly, I promise (unless you're allergic to pistachios and then it wouldn't be so....well, yeah, I guess you could say it would be Heavenly...if you've been good).

I tried the new Reese's minis that come in a little zip bag and are unwrapped. They are good but the bag is too small. It needs to be 4 times bigger, because...c'mon...if I want it so bad that I'm choosing the minis cuz I wouldn't have to waste time or chocolate on the wrappers, I want more than 8 ounces worth. Just sayin'.

Ebon loves me (and his life) very much. He didn't bat an eye as I filled a quarter of our grocery cart with junk last night. The remaining three quarters had all organic and/or generally healthy stuff in it. The cashier looked at me funny. :blink:

We met someone this weekend that knew quite a bit about American versus everyone else's way of producing milk and dairy products. We learned that our milk and cheeses in the US contain small amounts of puss in them. We are going to purchase organic milk and European cheeses from now on.

We learned about the cheese/milk fiasco while we were eating sushi. I don't have a weak stomach, but it did give me about a 10 second pause before I could finish my crunchy roll.

Bonus: I bought 2 packages of Mother's Macaroon cookies last night. They were on sale and I had a store coupon and so, I got them for more than half off! Happy cheap shopper dance!

My ex husband's wife and i are very close. She sat beside me at my brother's funeral, we got a lot of stares. She is somewhat butch, to me, in appearance and in actions, poor guy i hope this one isn't gay too. Bless his heart.

I have a "thing" for straight lines and i don't like circles. My dishes are square and i try and buy square or rectangle tables ect...

My two favorite shows are "House" and "TAPS" and i tape them all the time and watch them over and over and over. Recently i've added "Sister Wives" to my most fav list and love that show too.

I hate to sleep. Always been that way. I feel like i'll miss out on something and to this day i usually have to be made to go to bed or i finally just fall over from being dead tired.

I've never climbed a tree. But, it's on my bucket list as well as touching a goat and a chicken both of which i'm petrified of. :sunglass:

I love circled plates and think that the square ones are harder to clean, but not as hard as the octagonal ones.

I, too, feel like I'm missing something or at least the opportunity to be doing something. However, I enjoy sleep far too much now. I think it's because I slept so little as a kid (mostly because of the whole abusive household and having to keep the nasties out of my bed thing versus the didn't want to miss anything thing though).

I've climbed a tree and I've touched chickens and goats. I like goats. Their pupils are sideways and that's kinda cool. You come here. I'll take you to the small rescue zoo. They have chickens and goats and even peacocks and a random orange cat that patrols the property. :)

House is awesome. I missed the season finale last night though. Ebon and I were watching what amounted to the worst movie we've ever seen. Well, technically it ties with Punch Drunk Love for the worst movie ever. It's called Backwash.

No fifth since I did a bonus last time.

Small amounts of what????

Gemme

05-28-2011, 09:31 PM

Small amounts of what????

Oooops. Spelling snafu. Pus. From cysts that form in the udders as a result of mastitis. The farmers give the cows growth horomones and they cows get milked lots and they are most often pregnant and between the pregnancies and the milking, some cows get infections. There are actually rules defining how much can and cannot get in the milk for it to still be accepted and shipped out.

I found this on Google Answers.

Now, as for the “pus” finding its way into the milk ---

The milk collected from the cows is stored on the farm in a bulk tank.
The dairy farmer and inspectors routinely check this milk for
contamination before it is shipped out to be pasteurized for sale. If
it does not pass the test, it does not go out!

The contamination of the milk is measured in terms of the SCC –

“The SCC amount is the Somatic Cell Counts (number of white blood
cells …Leukocytes) per milliliter of milk (SCC/ml). A dairy industry
rule of thumb states that cows measuring less than 200,000 SCC/ml of
milk are considered healthy or not significantly infected with
mastitis. Cows measuring over 200,000 SCC/ml are considered infected
cows.”

That was the PER COW level. The BULK MILK level regulation is:

“Beginning July 1, 1993, the SCC level in milk quality regulations
must be less than 750,000 SCC to comply with the State and Federal
Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. A violation of the PMO makes the milk
non-marketable.”

I usually only get my hair cut once a year, although I do go to the salon for different colors, etc.

I prefer to sleep with a fan on year round because I like the "breeze" on my face.

I hate wearing watches and only do so if absolutely necessary,

One wall in my bedroom is covered in painted papyrus artwork from Egypt, another wall has artwork and metalwork from India, another has more modern, eclectic artwork, and the other is bare for now.

*I love to dance, but the music has to be "right"; I am often to be found "dancing" in my car - where the music is always "right". :)

*I used to eat fire.

*I am needle-phobic. Blood work, vaccines, giving blood, IVs, catheters etc. set me in to a heart-racing, cold sweat and floods of tears. (it is incredibly pathetic).

*Despite my phobia - I used to have several piercings, now all that remains are my ears. They used to be stretched to an 8g but damned if I can't get any of my 8g earrings in right now. And I don't want to face the taper needle this summer to stretch them again. :|

*I prefer sleeping with fans to sleeping with A/C. The chemicals A/C emits give me nightmares and make me sneeze (until I re-acclimate)

1. I prefer a cold bedroom. Warm blankets are a must with the exception of summertime when I simply use a sheet. The a/c at this time of year is set to 62. Ahhh comfort. I can breath.
2. I love to cook and others actually enjoy what I prepare. *Chuckle.
3. I strongly dislike early mornings and can be grumpy when I have not had my sleep.
4. I really miss going out into the wilderness and roughin' it....hiking, fishing, and such.
5. I am headed to Worcester, MA the third week of June for school. A little nervous about meeting classmates. We have never seen each other in real life yet.

I'm actually a very sensitive person eventhough I put on the lil miss badass act around most folks.

My feelings get hurt very easily, to the point I sometimes wonder if it's normal.

I have an online blog that I've had for years about my deepest, and sometimes most painful memories and experiences.

I can be very antisocial sometimes, to where I don't really like being around people for the most part.

There are few people that I deeply admire and look up to, but most of them are on this site.

1. Sometimes when I get super tired and super stressed, I want to pound my fists on the table while shrieking "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" but I don't want to scare the dog and cat. :)

2. I reallllllly love gummy candy. Gummy lifesavers, those yummy artificially flavored peach rings, and even those gummy sharks.

3. I'm trying to convert the towels in my house: All oversized and white in the master bathroom and all sandy-beige in the guest bath. (I can't believe I still had a beach towel that I bought in high school!!)

4. My toenails have been continuously painted for about 15 years. (I know! I know!)

5. I've got 5 books going right now: 1 on the Kindle, 2 on the night stand, 1 in the bathroom, and 1 at work.

1. I love nature and I believe that it contains everything we need to live, survive and thrive with/on.

2. I don't like talking on the phone(outside of work). I get bored with it after about 2 minutes.

3. I don't think that we are alone in the Universe but I also don't think that aliens would bother coming here because humans are not evolved enough.

4. I think that some animals are more evolved and more intelligent than most humans.

5. I don't like watching the news.

1. I think my kid is super cool, and I kinda like doing music-ey stuff together and him sharing new finds with me and me sharing music fest finds with him.

2. I never watch the news or political depate of any kind.

3. I look out the window if I want to know what the darn weather is doing, not turn on the TV.

4. I usually don't give a damn what the weather is doing. Even when the syrins're (it's a southern conjunction, trust me) blaring.

5. I may be a little apprehensive about the upcoming move.

I was in another thread and five came up and I thought of this thread, so...

5 was a very bad year for me and here are 5 reasons why.

1. I contracted whooping cough and almost died.

2. I had my first experience with being forcibly stripped naked, tossed onto a freezing metal gourney and covered with towels soaked in ice cold water, complete with an ice bath at the end. Multiple times. See number one for the reason why.

3. I experienced my first molestation. It was the only singular event and the only one perpetrated by my cousin.

4. My mother and much of my family smoked. I spent more time in the hospital that year than I did out, due to asthma, bronchitis, double pneumonia, walking pneumonia, and just plain ole run of the mill pneumonia.

5. I also had surgery on my kidneys that year. Yaaaay for not having to refuse to drink anything so I wouldn't pee so it wouldn't burn and hurt and make me cry and given IV fluids and then ripping said IV out and then being held down and forced to drink stuff and having to pee and being hurt and crying anyway any more. I went though that for two years before I was big enough to operate on. While I do know that the surgery was a good thing, the hospital stay was not. I clearly remember two of my hospital stays in my life, and not for good reasons at all, and that is one of them.

I love to experiment with hair colors. I have had every color from black to blonde and inbetween. Except platinum blonde. Right now my hair is a caramel blonde with blonde highlights.

I am horrible with directions and a GPS does not work for me it just distracts me from looking at the road!

I am in awe of women that can walk, run or stand for long periods in stilettos.
I am most comfortable walking around in bare feet. My feet are always pedicured and have polish on them though.

I prefer not to wear panties.

My Dad passed away on April 20, 2011. I miss him lots.
The last words I said to him was when he was leaving the house to go into the ambulance to transfer him to yet another hospital..."Dad you are going on a vacation where they will heal the things that you are going through right now to make you feel better. I will meet you there." How ironic he passed away 3 days later. What a vacation! And I will meet him there when it is my time to go. xo

1. I'm an ESFJ, according to Meyers-Briggs, but I think I'm more introverted than that.

2. I have over 50 pens from the Hotel Abrego in Monterey, CA.

3. Cinnamon toast always takes me back to childhood. So do Eggo waffles.

4. I've used the same email address since 1996. (Maybe it was 1995?)

5. I break hair dryers with surprising regularity.

1. I can play EA's Sims games for 12 hours straight and never get bored.
2. I secretly want my own island for people who are like minded (I don't want to be the ruler, just the benefactor)
3. I can not interact with humans for over 30 days(other then my spouse) and be completely satisfied.
4. My facial expression generally has little to do with what I am actually thinking. Most of the world would have little appreciation for the thoughts or emotions I might be having when you say "Good Morning Sunshine".
5. I enjoy it when people call me a curmudgeon.

and......because I am a non-conformer:

6. Although I am generally opinionated, cranky, and still a bit precocious, I can be a lot of fun to be around most days.

1. I hate the smell of French Toast cooking so much that I won't cook it no matter how much someone loves it. We can go out to a restaurant.
2. I love kitschy things and dearly want a gazing ball for my container garden.
3. Sometimes I like to sit in the heat just waiting for a breeze to remind myself of how lucky I am to be able to feel the wind against my skin.
4. I play Wii bowling by myself.
5. I make up silly songs for my animals and sing it to them...a lot.

The plain truth of the matter is, I don't like to wear boxer shorts or tidy-whities (really hate those). Boxer briefs are OK, but regular cotton high-cut women's under pants are for me. The hell with butch identity when it comes to my underwear! I say deal with it!

I survived Tetanus (lockjaw) at the age of 13. Although this contributed to spine problems leading to extensive surgeries as a young adult. What can you do- figured I was still ahead of the game.

I hate applesauce, but love apples.

I love bright colors.

Poor manners bother me and so does foul language. LOL, but I have to say that I don't react to foul language like I used to before joining B-F sites. Yet, when someone runs at the mouth swearing in public around kids or elderly people, I tell them to watch their mouth.

1. Ebon thinks I'm going to get food poisoning because I can't remember how long the reheated veggies I just ate had been in the fridge. I know it's somewhere between more than 2 days and less than a week. We'll see, I suppose. My stomach's pretty tough.

2. Ebon's always yammering at me about getting viruses. When Bessie (my computer) acts up, he is always saying that she's got a virus. It's a weird sideways joke with us. Today, I did get a virus while hunting for pics for the 'picture says 1000 words' thread. He may or may not have chortled at this.

3. Ebon beat me at You Don't Know Jack by as much as I was beating him by going into the final round. I'll get him next time.

4. Ebon likes his salsa pureed to the point that it looks like baby food. That disgusts me. I like to see chunks of stuff in my salsa. There was a brand called Rojo in WA that was sublime, but I can't find it here and I'm sad. :(

5. I finished off the tre leche cake today and threatened to smear the blue icing on Ebon. That was fun. :eyebat:

I’m a pretty happy drunk. Most often I’ll hug everyone and tell them how much I love them and beg to go karaoke. Sober I hate karaoke. *spit*

Love to eat raw potatoes.

I don’t think the glass is half empty. I think it’s full – half water and half air. Air is very important and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

I’m not confused about my sexuality, but my doctor is.

I still make wishes when I blow out the candles on my birthday cake.

1. I collect Monopoly games. I have loved playing the game since I was about 8 years old. I get pretty fierce when I play it.

2. I do not like the heat. My body temp is high normally. So it is easier for Me to warm up than cool off.

3. I love the English language. Write it, read it, study it, no matter the forms it comes in.. books, poetry.. anything.. if it is about the English language I am there.

4. I love to cook. Italian is My specialty. However, I know how to cook alot of other ethnic types of food as well.

5. My family owned a soda bar/restaurant when I was young through My teenage years. I miss it, alot.

I love to look at clouds and see the things my mind wants me to see.

I love the sound of ticking clocks and my dream is to own a grandfather clock that chimes.

I held my Grandfather's hand when he died, then my Father's then my Brother's.

I am drawn to water. I am around it as much as possible and can water ski but i can't swim very well at all.

I had a pet string when i was little and his name was Willy. He went with me everywhere...till i lost him. Still makes me sad.

*Bergamont is one of my favorite scents, I'm not much of a tea drinker but I often make a pot of earl grey in the winter - just for the wonderful scent.

*Lemon Myrtle and Eucalyptus is also a very very very favorite combination. When I was Australian driving the Great Ocean Road I had my head hanging out the window taking in huge gulps of the air because the scent was so utterly divine.

*I only wear one perfume, it works with my body chemistry, nothing else I've ever tried does; in fact all other perfumes smell horrid on me, and I feel compelled to immediately shower to escape the scent.

*I do not like the smell of cooking eggs, wet mayonnaise, fish reheated in the microwave or a whole lot of patchouli.

*my flat is currently filled with the scent of the full bloom peonies I have in every room. this makes me ridiculously happy.

I love beets. Wish someone would have a "Beet Eating Contest".

Beasley can not beat me at Wii table tennis.

As a kid I would jump out of trees in an attempt to break one or both of my legs. I thought crutches were cool.

I ate my lunch with chopsticks the entirety of my third grade year.

~ DYAC might be the funniest thing I've seen online in years.
